Neighborhood Description In the late 1880s, Mount Washington was developed as a summer retreat from the heat of the city--easily accessible by the steam trains of the time and later by electric streetcars. The neighborhood is architecturally eclectic and includes homes in the Italianate, foursquare, colonial, bungalow, and mid-century modern styles--many of which have large yards. Mount Washington is served by a small village retail area that includes shops, restaurants, and a station on Baltimore's light rail system. The neighborhood also has easy access to downtown and points north via bike paths as well as the Jones Falls Expressway.
